At Rethymnon, you are able to choose between many gastronomical spots like restaurants, fish taverns and the totally gourmet kitchen. You can eat whatever and anytime you want, especially after one walk at the fantastic Fortezza Castle and the old harbor. Recommendations about where to eat like a “prince” are many, but here, the suggestions are more specific. Let’s see where you can find your personal “tasty spot”!

Prima Plora Οrganic Restaurant & Wine Bar, in Rethymnon

Are you feeling hungry after the romantic walk at the Fortezza Castle? If the answer is Yes, then you can try eating at the Prima Plora Restaurant. Prima Plora is at the western part of the city, at Koumpes region of Rethymnon. The view is amazing because when you sit at the Restaurant for your lunch or dinner, you will have an amazing view of the Castle, the sea and the city of a rocky little coastline. Here, at Prima Plora, the catalogue is so big, so if you want to eat something of the daily menu, make a question to the waiter about the special dish of the day. Highly recommend the Cretan Pitas, wild green salad topped with Cretan bread rusks and a divine avocado salad topped with a gorgeous milky smooth goat cheese cream. “Cheli” dish, is also known at Prima Plora Restaurant because of its butter cream, cow’s butter, truffle oil and a fantastic local homemade bread.

Taverna Koundourakis, in Rethymnon

Question: think about the most amazing Restaurant or Tavern where you have ever eaten before at your whole life. Did you eat at one terrestrial paradise with water springs surrounding you and beautiful springs that flow from the Mouselas River? No? So, you should go to the Argyroupolli Fish Tavern at Argyroupoli, near Lappa, at Rethymnon for the experience of your life! Fish Tavern’s specialize in freshwater fish cuisine, specifically river fish like sturgeon and trout dishes. If you want, you can caught your own fish too direct from the river. Amazing, right?

Pigadi Restaurant in Rethymnon

Last recommendation (but not least) is Pigadi Restaurant. Pigadi is located under the castle of Fortezza, in the heart of the city of Rethymnon.
